HARTFORD – U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) released the following statement on the Trump Administration’s decision to cancel the Revolution Wind Project:

"When the oil industry showed up at Mar-a-Lago with a set of demands in exchange for a $1 billion of campaign support for Trump, this is what they were asking for: the destruction of clean energy in America. The decision to stop the Revolution Wind project, which is 80 percent compete and has already been approved through exhaustive reviews by multiple federal agencies, has nothing to do with energy policy or energy prices. This is a story of corruption, plain and simple. President Trump has sold our country out to big corporations with the oil and gas industry at the top of the list. I will work with my colleagues and Governor Lamont to pursue all legal paths to get this project back on track."
